So the season comes to a predictable end. To be honest this was a bit disappointing. They wrapped everything up too cleanly and conveniently. They didn't handle Suo well at all and he ended up being a flat, poorly developed, nothingburger of a character who was easily converted to the cult of Akina. His change is so radical it seems unsettling. The rest of the episode was just some decent slice of life hijinks to fill in the runtime. And that post-credits scene felt like a big joke. "Hey you know that big Fated Clash we barely explained anything about this whole season? Well now we're gonna do it again! Except it's called the Destined Showdown!!!!" Like seriously? The most interesting part of the season was definitely the bit with Hikari time traveling from the future trying to save Akina and it now feels like a missed opportunity where they could've done a lot more. Negativities aside, I still think what this season as a whole is an improvement over the awful Dress seasons that preceded it. There is a clear idea of what the writers were trying to do, the protagonist is more watchable than Yuyu, and the plot is more structured. They just didn't do anything as interesting with it outside of one twist and mostly decided to play it safe which is disappointing. Don't know what s2 will hold but I'll temper my expectations.

Akina won against suou as expected & saved his sister from her illness. Sad that alternate timeline Hikari is no more. But fate has its own plan for akina & his friends.

It was fine.
I expected an improvement from the last seasons but it was more of the same.
I like the character designs more I guess...

This season seems better to me than the previous ones with a better worked plot and fights, I liked the choice of characters from the will+Dress saga
I hope that for the next season they do not use Kondou, Yu-yu, Momoyama, Danji and Ebata, Touya not even as a cameo this season he won his 7 but unfortunately he has certain negative points that made him not go beyond 6 as

1- the plot plays it safe that the final battle became very predictable

2- Yobitsugi, Suou and Hikari lack more development in the future, at least more for Suou because there is never a formal conversation with the character until the penultimate chapter, the fact that he became Akina's best friend in a single chapter does not add up.

3- Akina becomes friends with all the characters in a single chapter, it doesn't add up that he just lacks the personality of the characters, it is understood about Nao because they knew each other from before and Taizou because the Hikari of the future recruited him but Mikoto remained as the typical one. girl that the protagonist likes and Suou as him in evangelisado it would have been better if Mikoto only treated him with more respect without being friends and Suou as the rival who respects him but does not share with him

And if I had the opportunity to change the ending, what I would have done is for Akina to talk more with Suou from the first chapters so that their interaction in the final fight would be more natural. Akina gets the sister's letter to last more turns because in The silk duel realizes that he cannot win but it makes Suou remember his parents and change his wish, making Suou's love for Vanguard teleport them to the planet Cray where the new Destined Showdown tournament would take place since they changed the future.

Wayyy better than the previous seasons I’ve seen. Akina was much better than Yuyu and I thought the side characters like Hikari, Nao and Mi-tan were great! This cast definitely needs more seasons and it looks like we’ll get them. So excited. Hopefully we get more of the Nao/Akina ship as well.

Happy finale for the most part; but couldn’t help but feel sad at future Hikari fading away without Akina knowing. But her sacrifice was not in vein, really changed the course of history. Best girl
